Have you been issued an Immigration Removal Order?
Types
of Removal Orders and their Consequences
Departure
Order
Exclusion
Order
Deportation
Order
Removal
Orders may arise in the following circumstances:
The Immigration Division (ID) or Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) determines that a Removal Order should be issued after a hearing, and so issues an Order
A Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Officer issues a Removal Order after an examination, or
An individual submits a refugee claim, and so receives a conditional Removal Order that will come into effect shortly after any refusal or abandonment of a refugee claim
If
you have received a Removal Order, it is important to understand the type of
Removal Order you have received, its consequences to your present time in
Canada and any future time, and whether you can challenge the decision. In all
cases, time is of the essence.
Types of Removal Orders and their Consequences
1. Departure Orders
Departure orders carry the least consequences. You may be given a departure order for a variety of reasons. For example, you may receive a departure order if you lose your permanent residence status and any appeals you made were refused. A departure order requires that you leave Canada within 30 days, confirming your departure with the CBSA on exit from the country. For Refugee/Protected Person claimants, a “conditional departure order” will be issued upon making a claim. Where the refugee claim fails (as well as any appeals that were made), the conditional departure order becomes enforceable. If the claimant does not leave Canada within the 30 days and/or does not inform CBSA of departure from the country, in nearly all cases the departure order will become a deportation order.
2. Exclusion Orders
Similar to Departure orders, an exclusion order requires the foreign
national to leave Canada, confirming departure with the CBSA on exit from the
country. However, exclusion orders include a time period for which a foreign
national is barred from entering Canada. Depending upon the reasons for which
the exclusion order was issued, the foreign national will be barred from making
an application to return to Canada for one to five years. Exclusion orders can
be issued by CBSA officers at a port of entry and as a consequence of a hearing
at the Immigration and Refugee Board. Exclusion orders can be issued for
violating immigration law, for example, arriving to Canada without a proper
visa, overstaying after the expiration of a visa or working and/or studying
without proper authorization. These breaches often result in exclusion orders
for a time period of one year. However, where a misrepresentation finding is
made, the ban from entering Canada is for five years among other consequences.
It is important to note that if the exclusion order is made within Canada, the exclusion period begins from the date the foreign national leaves the country whereas if the exclusion order is made from outside Canada, the exclusion order begins from the date on the exclusion order. If a foreign national seeks to return to Canada during the restricted period an application for “Authorization to Return to Canada” (ARC) is required. For more information on ARCs, click here.
*NOTE* Prior to November 2014, an exclusion order made on the grounds of misrepresentation would hold a penalty of 2 years as opposed to 5.
3. Deportation Orders
Deportation orders carries lasting consequences. Deportation orders often rise when a departure order is issued but the foreign national does not leave within 30 days of the Order and/or does not inform CBSA of voluntary departure. Where a deportation order is made, the foreign national is barred permanently from entering Canada. A foreign national or an impending permanent resident will require an “Authorization to Re-Enter Canada” (ARC) to return to Canada. For more information on ARCs, click here.
Bellissimo Law Group PC has extensive experience with representing individuals facing removal. We are familiar with the legal processes and these case can be extremely complex and any response must be comprehensive, concise and compelling. Please contact us today to find out your options!
What Happens if You Fail to Appear for Removal?
Removal Orders, in all cases, require that you leave Canada. If you fail to appear for a removal interview or fail to appear on the removal date, CBSA will issue a Canada-wide warrant for your arrest. Once CBSA has arrested you, they may detain you in a holding facility or provincial correctional facility before removal. CBSA may also assign an officer to accompany you on your departure to ensure that you leave Canada. If you leave Canada under a Departure order or an Exclusion order (and the time period for which you are barred from Canada has elapsed), you may be eligible to apply to return to Canada. However, please note that you must ensure that you are not inadmissible under other grounds (criminality, security concerns etc.)
Reasons for Delays
There are several reasons for which a delay may occur in the enforcement of a removal order.
1. Challenges Removal Orders
Permanent Residents may have a right to appeal the Removal Order to the
Immigration Appeal Division.
Whether you have a right of appeal as a permanent resident will depend upon why the Removal Order was issued. If it has been determined that you are inadmissible for organised criminality, crimes against humanity, espionage, or other more serious forms of security concerns, there will be no right of appeal. Also, if you are found to be inadmissible for serious criminality (a crime that holds a maximum sentence of 10 years or more) and received in Canada a sentence of detention of six months or more, you will not have a right of appeal. In these circumstances, you may still challenge the decision to the Federal Court of Canada. For more information on the Federal Court, click here.
Foreign Nationals may not appeal their Removal Orders to the IAD. However, the decision to issue a Removal Order may still be challenged to the Federal Court of Canada.
2. Pre-Removal Risk Assessment Applications
If you fear return to your country of nationality or habitual residence, you may make an application for Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) to have your risks assessed prior to removal. If you are eligible for a PRRA, a removal generally cannot proceed until a final decision has been rendered on this application.
3. Travel Documents/Identity
The CBSA may need documents (passports, travel documents etc.) that will allow you to enter the country to which you are being removed to. Similarly, the CBSA may have trouble confirming the identity or citizenship of the individual being removed.
4. Administrative Deferral of Removals (ADR)
An ADR serves as a temporary tool to defer a removal in situations where the country to which an individual will be removed to is suffering from a humanitarian crisis. The ADR does not adhere to individualized risk but rather country wide risk. Once the country stabilizes, the ADR can be lifted and CBSA will enforce removal orders. An individual who is inadmissible for criminality, international or human rights violations, organized crime or security can still be removed despite the ADR. An ADR status currently applies for the following countries: Somalia (Middle Shabelle, Afgoye, and Mogadishu), the Gaza Strip, Syria, Mali, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Libya, Yemen, Burundi, Venezuela and Haiti.
5. Temporary Suspension of Removals (TSR)
Similar to an ADR, a removal order may be suspended where the country to
which an individual is being removed to is subject to a risk that threatens the
entire civilian population. This can include an armed conflict or an
environmental disaster or other events that interrupts typical living
conditions. Like an ADR, an individual who is inadmissible for criminality, international
or human rights violations, organized crime or security can still be removed regardless
of a TSR. A TSR currently applies for Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of
Congo and Iraq.
*NOTE* – If your removal order is suspended because of an ADR or TSR, you may be able to apply for a work permit or a study permit.
Bellissimo Law has been the greatest help we could have asked for our journey. Our case needed an appeal which was very well organized, documented and presented to the authorities. We received a positive decision on the case all because of the expertise of Mr. Bellissimo and team. Keely and John are great at responding all smart and stupid questions and the team is very prompt to answer emails. They have the entire process streamlined, right from extension to evidences which makes our job easier. We got the quotes from some of the other law firms too who are all good and had lower charges. We chose Bellisimo because they are the best and in the long term a few extra bucks won't matter but the results will. Highly recommended.

I wish I’d found Bellissimo Law 9 years ago before taking the advice of a so called Immigration Consultant who led our family to a very costly near disaster in our quest to immigrate to join our family in Canada. Years later, in desperation, at a Procedural Fairness Letter stage internet research seemed to suggest Bellissimo Law may be the company to deal with our problem. From the first consultation with Bellissimo Law their extremely thorough, very focused telephone interview personified professionalism and reassurance. All subsequent dealings with any member of the team were of the same high standard. It was clear to us that Mario Bellissimo leads from the front and that his staff not only respect him but that they are trained to match his standards and caring approach. I believe it is very important to mention that although they seem expensive, when our particular problem resolved more quickly and easily than anticipated they refunded the money which had not yet been used. Thanks particularly to Keely, our lead person, and to all at Bellissimo. I will always, highly recommend Bellissimo Law. Keep up the good work. In less than 6 months all our worries are over. We are now permanent residents.

I sponsored my parents in 2007 and I was refused in 2013 based on medical inadmissibility of my mentally challenged brother. I found Late Mr. Rotenberg as my original lawyer who passed away during the process. I was very disappointed as I was counting on his expertise to help me with my situation. Mr. Bellissimo was God send for me to help me with my case. I am very thankful that he took on my case. His team member Ms. Tamara Thomas worked with me and advised me with regards to the documents that I needed to obtain, they did extensive research on eligibility criteria of various social and health systems. They worked with me on the interview preparation. The time spend working with them was very targeted and very specific to address the Minister's concerns. They ensured there was no further waste in time or any delays. The way they presented my case and helped me win it only a world class Law firm can do that as there were times I was going to lose my hopes. I would totally recommend this law firm to anyone who is going through similar situation as mine with both hands down. Mr. Bellissimo and the team (Ms. Tamara Thomas) you guys are amazing and thank you so much again for reuniting me with my family in my beautiful dream country Canada.

Bellissimo Law Firm has great lawyers who have handled our immigration case. The staff was very professional. We are very happy with their service.We had to go through a tough ordeal because of misrepresentation earlier and our file was rejected. That is when we assigned this case to Mario Bellissimo. I would happily refer his law firm to any one whose in the same situation as ours or any immigration related matter.I would like to mention a special thanks to Tamara who was in touch with us and kept as posted. Mario had 100% confidence in our case that we will win which was very assuring for me and my family. And we finally got our permanent residency.God bless him and his firm.

Our family could not thank you Bellissimo Law Group enough for all their help on my brother's case. We are very thankful for their professionalism, effort and hard work.

I know that this has been a tough and long battle for all of us and finally it is a dream come true. Words cannot describe how thankful and happy we are. To us, thank you is not enough to express our appreciation, I would call them the lifesaver for our family. Once again, thank you and we wish everyone all a continue success.

I want to say thank to Mario Bellissimo , Keely Anderson, Natalia Borkowska and all the entire team for a wonderful job they did. Me and my families case was really hard and there were some moments where we were close to being deported but Mario Bellissimo and his team fought really hard for my family and was able to help up stay in Canada to the point where we got the permanent residence. I would also like to recognize the fact that Keely Anderson was by my side through out the whole situation telling me every step to take. We truly recommend Bellissimo law firm, I believe they are the best law firm in Toronto and can be trust worthy for any situation.

It has been a very long battle, right from the beginning, our agent, Attorney David Cohen, knowing that two of our dependants have some physical challenges which may pose concern of inadmissibility, introduced us to BLG. We were systematicaly guided to provide prove of our plans and financial capability to sustain us in Canada. At every appropriate stage we were introduced to different personnel within the law firm to handle specific issue. To the glory of God, our application was successful when IRCC gave us a second chance.

Our initial contact was Ms. Simran Sra, and she was very friendly and helpful in finding the right resources in the organization for our needs. Ms. Natalia Borkowska, the Team Lead in Accounting and Administration was very thorough in explaining the services and associated costs, which were very reasonable. Mr. Justin Toh, the lawyer assigned to our case was very professional and reviewed the steps that needed to be taken by him and his team in researching the law as applies to our situation. We look forward to continuing the process with this organization and feel confident in the successful conclusion.Konstantin and Dixie Loewig

Mario Bellissimo has my full respect. He's the #1 Immigration Lawyer in Canada, can solve any cases and is hard-working. His group is very also hard-working and reliable. If I had never met them, I'd be deported back to my country in Vietnam already by now. I had criminal record since 1992 and after that, the immigration decides to have a deportation on me. I went to the immigration court and lost. After I lost, I even appealed, but lost again. I live with my family in Canada with my parents, brother and sister. I soon got married and have 4 children, and still; the immigration still doesn't see me having any reason why I should stay in Canada. After I lost everything, I managed to find a lawyer named Cecil L. Rotenberg and he's also one of the best immigration lawyers in Canada out there but he was kind of getting old and slow so he insisted me to meet Mario Bellissimo to help me with my case. Cecil said that Mario is the only one that can help with my case since I've lost every case. My first lawyer's name Martin and he made me lost all of my cases and respect. When I met Cecil and Mario, I felt like I still have hope on my side and can still win this. Now I'm a permanent resident in Canada. I'm grateful and my family as well. We thank you Cecil L. Rotenberg for helping me meet the right lawyer which is Mario Bellissimo. My family and myself specially thanks to Mario Bellissimo Law Group. If someone like me or have any problem with any immigration. I highly recommend meeting up and work with Bellissimo Law Group. Thank you very much.

For anyone searching for an immigration law firm Bellissimo Law Group is what you are looking for. Look no further. The process of immigrating to a new country can be a daunting one. You feel vulnerable and you don’t know what the future holds.I was in this position at one time seeking Canadian Permanent Residency on humanitarian grounds. Today due to my trust in Mario Bellissimo, Viola Gniadek and countless people behind the scenes I am about to receive a much cherished Canadian Residency.Viola, my consultant was my rock. She guided me through the process every step of the way.My family and I are grateful to Mario and Viola. My advice is hear them out, stay on task and you couldn’t be in better hands than with Bellissimo Law Group.Pamela I

She's professional and well-prepared.She has been a true guide through this long journey.All members of Bellissimo Law Group are excellent professionals.We strongly recommend this firm.I want to quote an old advertising sign of the firm that I saw a few years ago, and it is well impressed in my mind: "Stop worrying; start Living!"

Our experience with Bellissimo Law Group has been totally wonderful. They are unprecedented compared to other immigration attorneys we have worked with in the past. They represented us for my wife's Canadian Citizenship verification process and my Permanent Resident application. They are very thorough and made sure all the documents were well reviewed before submission resulting in a successful conclusion. I highly recommend that if you have a need for their expertise that you choose them as your representatives.

I highly recommend Bellissimo Law Group. I sponsored my wife in Canada, and Bellissimo Law Group was our representative. We had the best experience with them. Their team is highly professional, and responsive. My wife got the PR very fast, just in 9 months, and the process went smoothly.

Highly recommended, it was a great honour to speak to Mr. Bellissimo. His advise was surely the best and informative. We would soon speak to them again. Thank you very much for your professionalism and honest judgements.

A great firm! Great lawyers! Only thing to mention would be that it's a large firm with several associates so make sure you're happy with who you've been assigned. Athena, Amanda, Kee-lee are all wonderful and had our application processed very quickly, once they took over the case from another associate.Would absolutely use them again and intend to in the future.
